"Who is he?"
Azriel questioned as he looked at the man standing in front of him.
This man… he was strange…
He was a Vampire.
No, not a Half Human Half Vampire, but a complete Vampire.
A less than 100-year-old pure-blooded Vampire.
The Vampires were betrayed 500 years ago, there should be no pure-blooded Vampire left, where did he come from?
Azriel frowned and started thinking about it.
Soon, a possibility appeared in his mind, however, before he could say anything, the man spoke.
"Yes, I would like to know this as well.
Ithania, who is this man?"
"Hmm?"
Azriel frowned.
This man's eyes… it didn't look like he was welcomed him.
"Heh."
Suddenly, a small smile appeared on Azriel's face.
His hand then moved and touched Ithania's back.
"I am really glad to see you, Bookworm."
He spoke and at the same time, he glanced at the Vampire.
There it was.
The Vampire's eyes narrowed down the moment he touched Ithania.
'Now this is getting interesting.'
Azriel smiled.
After living for so many years, reading facial expressions was easy for him.
This Vampire's reaction to him touching Ithania was definitely interesting.
And Azriel, who craved entertainment was definitely planning to explore more, however,
"Tsk Tsk, you Brute, even if you do want to tease someone, I would appreciate it if you don't use me as a tool to do so."
Who was he standing in front of?
It was Ithania.
She instantly knew what Azriel was thinking.
Azriel looked at her and smiled,
"I apologize, but his reactions were interesting."
Ithania glanced at Azriel's smile and couldn't help but mutter.
"You changed."
"Hm?"
Azriel tilted his head.
"I didn't know you were interested in things like these. If it was the previous you, you would have tried to find out who he is, then ask about where he came from, then you would have challenged him directly.
However, rather than doing all that, you are just standing here, all calm and full of smile, trying to rile him up. As if you are fighting and trying to take advantage in a phycological war. The complete opposite of what normal Azriel does.
I know you have been gone for 22 years, but…
Can a person really change his core nature in just 22 years?
Can Azriel Ruinous really suppress that Battle Freak inside him?
Is that actually possible?
Why do I feel like…you are not Azriel?"
Ithania narrowed her eyes.
A big smile appeared on Azriel's face.
'As expected of the Bookworm.'
He nodded inwardly, and then, he answered,
"I am definitely Azriel. Trust me."
"I would like to hear what happened in that Trial."
"Don't worry, I was planning to tell you two about it."
Ithania nodded. Luminia, who was standing behind Azriel just smiled.
Of course, she knew her student would tell her everything.
There is no way he would hide something.
Won't she beat him to death if he dares to hide something?
Hmph! Hmph!
"How dare you ignore me, you bastard!?"
While Azriel and Ithania were talking to each other, the Vampire, who was completely ignored by the two of them shouted in rage.
Azriel turned around and noticed that man was only looking at him.
Ithania was ignoring him as well, but his anger was only directed at him.
How mean.
Azriel shook his head and then, he spoke.
"However, you are wrong about one thing, Bookworm."
"What?"
Ithania questioned with a frown.
"I was never trying to take any sort of advantage in any sort of phycological war.
I wasn't even trying to fight him."
"And that's the problem, a King Stage Cultivator is standing right in front of you and you are not dying to challenge him. Is it because he is too strong for you? Did you finally learn how to hold yourself back?
Well, King Stage might be a little too much for the current you, however, I still don't believe you will just stay still like this."
Ithania theorized.
"Ithania, challenges are fun."
Azriel commented.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Ithania questioned in confusion.
Azriel glanced at the Vampire in front of him and commented.
"I do not fight weaklings."
Indeed, this man was too weak for Azriel to even have thoughts about fighting him.
And these words were not spoken by Azriel Origin, it was said by Azriel Ruinous.
Even though this man was a King Stage Cultivator, in front of Azriel, he was still too weak.
To be honest, he wasn't even a Challenge.
A bold statement coming from a mere Master Stage Cultivator, but…
This Master Stage Cultivator was someone who has lived his life as the strongest being to have ever lived in Yrniel.
Azriel knew what he was talking about.
However, the Vampire didn't.
"You bastard! I will kil-"
"Stay back, Bert."
However, just as the Vampire was about to rush toward Azriel to 'kill' him, he was interrupted by a calm voice.
As soon as he heard this voice, the Vampire turned silent and stepped back.
Then, a man with white colored hair, red eyes, a well-carved, handsome face, and a well-built body walked in.
Azriel raised his eyebrow as he glanced at the man in front of him.
"A Great Sage…
Now, this is getting interesting."
A few seconds later, around 8 more Vampires walked in, all of them were pure-blooded vampires and all of them stood behind the white-haired Vampire who seemed to be their leader.
Looking at them, Azriel's smile widened and he turned toward his teacher,
"Teacher Luminia, who are these people?"
"I would like to know this as well, Lady Luminia."
The white-haired man who was looking at Azriel turned towards Luminia and questioned respectfully.
"For Lady Luminia to bring him here personally, just who is this boy?"
A smile appeared on Lumina's face and she stepped forward.
"They are the Bloodhawk Family, Noble Vampires from the time when the Vampire Continent still belonged to the Vampires." she pointed at the vampires in front of her and introduced.
Then, she glanced at the Bloodhawk family and pointed at Azriel,
"And he, is my Student."
